The above-mentioned amount of PLN 3.500.000,00 was deposited by OASIS at an escrow account and will be payable to the Company in an amount between zero and PLN 3.500.000,00 in case ArchiDoc and its subsidiary generated a standardised EBITDA result in 2019 at the level in the range from PLN 7.000.000,00 (say: seven million Polish zlotys) – a minimum value, and PLN 7.500.000,00 (say: seven million five hundred thousand Polish zlotys) – a maximum value, as calculated on a linear basis in relation to standardised EBITDA value within that range. The standardised EBITDA value for 2019 will be determined on the basis of approved and audited 2019 financial statements of ArchiDoc and its subsidiary.

The Parties have also agreed that the Issuer will be entitled to conditional additional payments to the Selling Price that will be due in case ArchiDoc has exceeded the agreed standardised EBITDA value in the period from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020 and from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021. The total maximum amount of additional payments to the price on this account will not exceed PLN 15.000.000,00.

The remaining terms and conditions of the SPA, including the declarations made and the liabilities undertaken by the Issuer as the seller, do not differ from the standard terms and conditions adopted in this type of transactions.
